A coroner's inquest into the January 2016 death of Beverly Elanik has found that the 51-year-old Inuvik woman died of natural causes. The inquest was ordered in September.

In January, 2016, Elanik was arrested by RCMP, who said it was believed she was intoxicated at the time of her arrest. She was taken to the hospital for a medical assessment, where medical staff said she was fit to be incarcerated. RCMP then took her to the detachment to sober up.
